Hi there,

I just joined the forum and I am excited to learn about other's Z adventures. I have a 74 260Z that I bought 2 years ago from the original owner! My dream car as a kid. It is in really good shape. The body had some dings and dents, but NO rust. The interior -- a small tear in the drivers seat and one crack on dash. It came with an 8 track stereo which I changed out to CD. It is basically stock but I have had dents repaired, painted it and added a rear spoiler. The original engine has 77000 miles. We changed the carbs to early round top SUs from 240Z. Added headers. I do have some problems with these but not as much as the original carbs. I have had some problems with the adjustment and keeping them in sync. Right now I am looking at dash crack solutions, wanting to complete the exhaust, and get tires for the old school slotted mags that I bought with the car. I am always looking for suggestions to make it better (and faster!) I have learned a lot from reading all the threads. I need to learn more, and need to learn how to work on my car myself! My dad was an old Datsun mechanic, but recently passed away. Boy do I wish I would have paid closer attention when he tried to teach me about cars.

Welcome to the club. Glad to hear you have your 260 is fixed up and running. Post some pictures when you can. You are right about lots of good info available here, just search or ask away.
